 “O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales.”

Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you.”

~Andy Warhol  Musician photography is a passion. Knowing the countless hours of practicing alone, the feelings of frustration, doubt and hope is particularly interesting to me. I recently had the opportunity to photograph the wildly talented Ryan Padula who is simply a delight to work with. Ryan comes from a musical family and often plays jazz with his brothers, mom and dad. Polite, intelligent, witty and having a quiet sense of determination, Ryan is a beacon of musical hope for the future of music.
 “Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly.”
~Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice  Dropping of “Tully” for the Blanche Ames National Juried Exhibition. David Lang had encouraged me to submit to this show a few years ago. It does not escape me that this photograph was taken in the morning light of his beloved home in Ireland, “Tully”.
Thanks David for your continued inspiration~ — with David A Lang at Ames Mansion.  Six models, fairies and nature nymphs

~Bob Dylan (Dancer Sandra Schencke with two ballet pieces from the AS220 exhibit in Providence, RI)  Five is the number of the human being. The number five symbolizes the four limbs and the head that controls the limbs. There are five senses: sight – hearing – taste – smell – touch. Five is the number of balance. Five symbolizes man, health and love. It combines the female number two with the male number three. Five is the number of marriage. The Pythagoreans thought of five as “hieros gamos”, the marriage between heaven and earth. (From the Outside the Box Project/Die)  |
